[stylist] tuesday word: vestal

[Lynda Lambert]

Thank you for this information. What a great idea this is!
This is certainly a jump start type of idea for us and I think I might 
participate, too. I have not thought of the word "vestal" in quite some 
time. Not since I used to lecture on Roman art in Humanities 110 classes on 
the Vestal Virgins as I showed the slides of the Roman sculptures to the 
students.

I am a former Professor of Fine Arts and Humanities at a small liberal arts 
private college in Pennsylvania. I taught numerous literature courses, with 
special topics, for English majors. I also taught studio art courses, and 
lectured in humanities on art history.

My favorite writers/literature is  modern and post modern.

I write poetry and reflective articles on topics of interest to me. My book 
_Concerti...Psalms for the Pilgrimage_ is availabe through amazon.com and it 
is a collection of poetry, drawings,  and short reflections that I wrote 
over a 10-year period as I traveled and taught every summer in Europe.

I started writing a blog in response to my sight loss 4 years ago.  On this 
blog I share my insight into the art and literature world as I now 
experience it.

The story of Lynda River Woman will take form at a later time. Right now, it 
is snowing here in Western Pennsylvania.

Today, I am knitting and reading a book!

Lynda River Woman
Author and Artist
